Black Sea Area Coins

The bulk of these coins will be from the Kingdom of Bosporus and the Miletos colony cities of Panticapaeum, Tyra, Sinope and Olbia.

Compared to collecting Roman coins, our Black Sea coins are easy to collect, as you can hone down your collection to a certain city...and have expectations of filling your book.

Panti collectors pay heed: The Greek colony city of Panticapaeum tended to re-strike, over-strike and countermark their issues to such a degree that it makes your head swim just figuring out what's what. It's easy to collect the "perfect stuck" issues, but they should not be the end of your collecting interest.

It's all these really odd/freaky issues that are the most interesting. We'll post as many of these over-struck/countermarked as they arrive. Some are easy to figure out...but others are really tough.
